The federal indictment charges Kenneth Schuchman with two counts of violating the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, accusing the 20-year-old man of propagating malicious code that caused damage to protected computers. The court documentation claims the first incident took place from August through November 2017 and damaged 10 or more protected computers within a one-year period, and that the second attack occurred in November 2017 and caused damage to a protected computer owned by one unspecified victim.
